first made contact with trusty about a week ago, communications, payments, and QC photos all went smoothly.

would love to get some feedback here, as everything looks great to me! however, i'm not someone who has a good eye for these, so i wouldn't rely on my own judgement here. so anything really obvious i'm missing, please let me know.

Nice looking watch but unfortunately I know little about Aquanauts. I do know something about QC pictures, you can't post them unless you have a specific question about a flaw(s) about the watch. If you've already approved them you're good. Read the RWI guidelines and rules pertaining the posting of QC pictures. I suggest you remove the pictures as soon as you can.

Next time, mention that you've already approved the QC pictures in your post. It will save a you from a bunch of useless corrections/hassles such as this. Enjoy your watch.

Enjoy the watch, you got a newer batch - no engravings on back and DW a tad bit thicker

Looks great, enjoy it! The strap on the 3kf 5167 could be improved, so you could entertain getting a ZF or gen strap and clasp. Any TD will sell that separately and eBay is great place for used horological parts

How is this "new" DW compared to the gen? Still too thin? Or small?

I hope it's ok if I use this topic for my question - can anyone tell me what maximum wrist circumference the Aquanaut with rubber wrist strap is suitable for?

I have had bad experiences with the Nautilus and the steel bracelet - it ends at 19cm.

My wrist has a circumference of 20.5 cm.

Thank you very much.

Still thinner than gen and they are not properly centered in the date window

I don't know about the rep rubber length but the gen rubber straps total length (between the 2 straps) is approx 21 cms. Along with the watch, this should be enough to fit your wrist.

Thank you - now I only hope that 3KF did not save costs on 1 - 2 cm rubber band of all things... :hehehe:
